The Smoking Gun reports William Golladay, 77, was charged with felony battery for attacking a 67-year-old disabled man at a Walmart in Punta Gorda, Fla.

According to court documents, on Jan. 11, the victim was in his electronic shopping cart in the express lane, checking out. Behind him was Golladay, loudly counting the items in the victim’s cart.

When the count went above 20, Golladay began yelling at the victim, saying he shouldn’t be in the lane. The two had an exchange of words and Golladay left, only to return later with his own shopping cart and rammed it into the victim’s elbow.

Walmart employees escorted Golladay out, but he managed to reenter the store and approached the victim with both his fists raised. Employees again had to escort him out of the store, but this time a Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputy was outside.

“He proceeded to become verbal with me and refused to provide his name and information,” a court document read. “He continued to be uncooperative and was ranting about how the man in front of him was in the 20 item express lane attempting to purchase over 20 items.”

The Smoking Gun reports Golladay posted $2,500 bond and is scheduled to be in court on Feb. 10.
